A big winter storm is heading down this weekend and it's bringing some pretty chilly temperatures along with it. You know what that means? Yup. I'm gonna need some serious comfort food to warm my belly. My all-time favorite comfort food has got to be my grandma's ginataang bilo-bilo (also known as sampelot in the province of Pampanga, where I grew up). It's a sweet and hearty stew made with coconut milk, tropical fruits, tubers, tapioca pearls and glutinous rice balls. This luscious dessert really sticks to your ribs, which makes it so perfect for the cold weather. Mmmmmmm...
